About Documenting Wray Castle's details

A rare opportunity to help create a record of the details of this highly intricate Gothic Revival building.

Throughout its rich 170-year history, Wray Castle has been home to a diverse mix of tenants. This is a rare opportunity to take part documenting the unknown condition of a historic property and compile a conservation audit by photographing and detailing all significant features within the castle. No previous photography skills are necessary as a professional photographer will teach techniques that will help you capture the rich tones of the wooden flooring and the beautiful intricate detailing on the Minton tiles.
